Our fun adventure...1o+ mile hike

This was half way through and our final destination was across the lake.

This past week I spent the week in the woods....at girls camp! Yes I went camping. Some know that I don't like to camp. My family spent our camping years on houseboats, not tents! But I will have to admit...I enjoyed it. Only because we had nice bathroom and showers! The camp site's bear didn't visit our camp, only the garbage dumpster..Thank goodness! We did have a family of foxes. They were friendly though. Our stake does girls camp different than when I was a teenage...they do it with levels not wards. So spent my time with the 3rd year (15 yr old) girls. We had the largest group of 17 girls. They were all fun, silly and nice girls. I really enjoyed getting to know the girls in our stake. Our camp theme was "There's no place like home" and my group was the lions. We spent a lot of time doing crafts, skits, certification, alittle bit of swimming, etc.. Our hike was quite an adventure...to say the least. They told us it was going to be a 6-7 mile hike...well it ended up being at least 10 miles and 5 hours. (and without lunch...it was in the car at the end of the hike). One of my girls fell down one mile in and hurt her hip, twisted her ankle and scuffed her leg up. So she was my hero and hiked for 4 1/2 hours in pain! She made it and won the "super trooper hiker award!" It was a bit long and my feet her for days afterwards. What an adventure. The highlight of the week was with our Bishop at testimony meeting. It was so spiritual and nice to be with our ward. We had a fun time! It was a fun week. Grandma Jo came down and watched the kids for me and they had sooooooo much fun. They played, played, and played until they couldn't do it anymore. Girls camp rocks!!!
